- Distinguish between the terms equilibrium constant and reaction quotient. When Q = K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K. what does this say about a reaction?arrow_forwardConsider the following system at equilibrium at 25C: PCl3(g)+Cl(g)PCl5(g)G=92.50KJ What will happen to the ratio of partial pressure of PCl5 to partial pressure of PCI3 if the temperature is raised? Explain completely.arrow_forwardWhat is the approximate value of the equilibrium constant KP for the change C2H5OC2H5(l)C2H5OC2H5(g) at 25 C. {Vapor pressure was described in the previous Chapter on liquids and solids; refer back to this chapter to find the relevant information needed to solve this problem.)arrow_forward
- Hydrogen gas and iodine gas react to form hydrogen iodide. If 0.500 mol H2 and 1.00 mol I2 are placed in a closed 10.0-L vessel, what is the mole fraction of HI in the mixture when equilibrium is reached at 205C? Use data from Appendix C and any reasonable approximations to obtain K.arrow_forwardAt 1 atm and 25 C, NO2 with an initial concentration of 1.00 M is 3.3103 decomposed into NO and O2. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction. 2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)arrow_forwardLexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bullet-proof glass. One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene (COCl2), an extremely poisonous gas. Phosgene decomposes by the reaction COCl2(g)CO(g)+Cl2(g) for which Kp 6.8 109 at 100C. If pure phosgene at an initial pressure of 1.0 atm decomposes, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.arrow_forward
- Show that the complete chemical equation, the total ionic equation, and the net ionic equation for the reaction represented by the equation KI(aq)+I2(aq)KI3(aq) give the same expression for the reaction quotient. KI3 is composed of the ions K+ and I3-.arrow_forwardAt a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas.

At which temperature are products favored? YVhat can you say about the reaction if the equilibrium constant is 1.2 at 127°C?arrow_forwardAdenosine triphosphate, ATP, is used as a free-energy source by biological cells. (See the essay on page 624.) ATP hydrolyzes in the presence of enzymes to give ADP: ATP(aq)+H2O(l)ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq);G=30.5kJ/molat25C Consider a hypothetical biochemical reaction of molecule A to give molecule B: A(aq)B(aq);G=+15.0kJ/molat25C Calculate the ratio [B]/[A] at 25C at equilibrium. Now consider this reaction coupled to the reaction for the hydrolysis of ATP: A(aq)+ATP(aq)+H2O(l)B(aq)+ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq) If a cell maintains a high ratio of ATP to ADP and H2PO4 by continuously making ATP, the conversion of A to B can be made highly spontaneous. A characteristic value of this ratio is [ATP][ADP][H2PO4]=500 Calculate the ratio [B][A] in this case and compare it with the uncoupled reaction.
